ModelSim EE/PLUS Reference Manual Simulator Command Reference

onbreak

The

onbreak

command is used within a macro; it specifies a command to be

executed when running a macro that encounters a breakpoint in the source code.

Using the

onbreak

command without arguments will return the current

onbreak

command string. Use an empty string to change the

onbreak

command back to its

default behavior (i.e., onbreak ""). In that case, the macro will be interrupted after

a breakpoint occurs (after any associated

command (p278) string is executed).

onbreak

commands can contain macro calls.

Syntax

onbreak

{ [<command> [; <command>] ...] }

Arguments

Any VSIM command can be used as an argument to

onbreak

. If you want to use more than

one command, use a semicolon to separate the commands, or place them on multiple lines.

The entire command string must be placed in curly braces. It is an error to execute any

commands within an

onbreak

command string following a

run

(p361),

run -continue

, or

step

(p371) command. This restriction applies to any macros or Tcl procedures used in the

onbreak

command string. Optional.

Examples

onbreak {exa data ; cont}

Examine the value of the HDL item data when a breakpoint is encountered. Then continue

the

run

command (p361).

onbreak {resume}

Resume execution of the macro file on encountering a breakpoint.
